Hello thereI

I had a weird issue by doing the Thread Shed project in Learn Python 3 (strings module).
Since keypoint 8-9 , as printing output, each single transaction is replied 4 times and I don’t understand why (the deployment is like the walkthrough help video).
I copy my complete code below in case of help to help me.
Thanks
Fabio

# Start coding below!

#1 For each transaction it's reported the Name of the customer, the money paid, a color of something unclear and the date. Each pieace of data is separated by ;,; and contains useless space while each transactionand is separated by a , .

daily_sales_replaced = daily_sales.replace(";,;", "+")

Can you please format your code using the “</>” button above? This project has loops & indentation matters in python and it’s easier to spot errors if the code is properly formatted.

I copied the code. Thank you for your help Lisa, sorry

It’s this line in Step 8. It’s indented a little too far. If you bring it back out to the same level of indentation as that second for loop that should fix the issue.
(otherwise, you’re using .append twice.)
